car good road short tony tracks true
Tony is a true American racer. You can put him in any car on any track, and he'll be fast. He's good on the short tracks, the intermediate tracks, the restrictor-plate tracks and the road courses.
battling brings bristol chase corners envelope guys pushing tight track
I think Bristol already brings that out in guys, because there's such tight corners and the track is fast, and I just think you're going to see guys battling to get into that chase who are going to be pushing the envelope really, really hard.
anybody couple feels happening last matter racing seasons seem seen steady tracks
I think anybody that feels like we've slipped on the restrictor-plate tracks hasn't seen restrictor-plate racing for the last couple of years. I mean, I think that no matter what our seasons are like, what's happening with our team, we always seem to be pretty steady at restrictor-plate tracks.
area bumps fixed gotten nice race time track wish
I wish they would have fixed the race track at the same time they fixed the curb. There are some things in the race track, some really big bumps and roughness, that would have been nice to have gotten through that area a little better.
good michigan track
Typically, Michigan has been a good track for us. In June, though, we stunk.
best cars track
We were one of the best cars on the long runs. We just couldn't get track position.

This is definitely the smoothest that I've ever seen this place. I'm still not sure what the race is going to be like, but I think it's going to be good because the track is just really, really fast right now.
focused improving last race struggled texas track
Texas is an important race track for us. We struggled here last year, and we've been really focused on improving our intermediate track program.
against certainly decided definitely enjoy everybody faster felt fired great hard holding matt moved position race racing sorry track wreck
We were all racing hard there at the end for position and he was holding everybody up. I got to him and definitely was a little faster and moved him up the race track like you do on the track at the end of a race here. We went down into one and he decided to wreck me instead. It is pretty disappointing. We had a great car. I am sorry that happened. I like racing with Matt, I certainly didn't enjoy racing with him today. I showed him my displeasure. I get fired up too. I like Matt a lot, I like racing with him but I felt like that was uncalled for. We will keep racing hard against him in the future.
beat closing guy laps performance record track whether
I think with our track record here at Daytona, with the performance that we've got going for us already this week, I'd like to think that we're one of the favorites. But whether we're the guy to beat or not, we'll find out in the closing laps of the 500.
track guy sometimes
You know, sometimes guys work with other guys because they're buddies off the track, not necessarily because they're buddies on the track. Sometimes you've got that going against you or for you.
Years like that make you hungrier, make you humble. You have no idea how disappointing it was.
bit criticism critics-and-criticism everybody four ourselves recognize understand won
Years like that make you hungrier, make you humble. The criticism has come a little bit stronger, come more often. I understand why. We've won four championships, a lot of races. We've prided ourselves on being competitive every year. When we're not, we recognize as well as everybody we're having an off year.
best good happy looked performance positive
We're just happy to we have some things that have been positive and going our way. We haven't looked like we've had the best performance out there but we have had some good situations.
